Issaquah Salmon Days

This annual event in the small town of Issaquah is not only a chance to see the Salmon Hatchery [125 W Sunset Way] where a lot of salmon and other fish are raised and released into our rivers and lakes; it's a large arts and crafts fair with music performances scattered along the way. Here's some basic info: https://www.salmondays.org/sd-2025-festival-information and entertainment: ISD entertainment. - Some of the band names are fun.

From past experience, I believe the only sane way to arrive and participate is to hop a bus. Fortunately they have arranged for this with shuttles from their transit center just a little south of town. The event address shown is for the Transit Center, which should be reachable via either bus or car.

This is what I'd enjoy sharing there:

• Begin by visiting the SalmonHatchery (address above) first and marveling at Chinook & other salmon in various stages of growth
• Wander the many arts & crafts booths along the streets - early holiday/family gift shopping anyone?
• Catch a band or two and and enjoy the music for a while
• Stop at a food booth or truck for late lunch or early dinner
• Re-view or see the Jacob Two Trees Dambo troll for the first time. (Cute, well-done & worth seeing)

It's predicted to be a nice fall day in the low to mid 60s, so far, for this well-known annual festival on the eastside. This is the 56th year! I will share a contact phone number prior to the 5th so we can find each other/stay in contact at the event. It will, of course, be challenging to hang together the whole time but I hope we'll at least be able to do so for much of the time and share many of the sights to see!
